At Tuesday's regular city council meeting, Mario and Vanessa Robledo were selected to be operators of the Fillmore Equestrian Center.

Both the Robledos and longtime Fillmore resident Steve McKinnon proposed plans to manage the center.

McKinnon has lived in Fillmore since June 1982 and has been a boarder at the FEC for over 20 years. He also has a good relationship with the roping club. He is a semi-retired general contractor with 25 years of property management.

Mario and Vanessa Robledo have lived and board (ed) at the FEC. They own several horses and have a 50-acre private ranch outside of Fillmore where they manage horses and have hosted multiple boarders. In addition, they own and operate Robledo Transportation Logistics, Inc. and Prancer’s Village.

The council praised both offers but decided that the Robledo's provided more experience with equestrian issues.
